Arduino IDE won't open; The cloud file provider is not running
360021557299

If the Arduino IDE doesn't start on Windows (the initialization window appears and disappears without showing any error message or warning), try running arduino_debug.exe from the Command Prompt. The arduino_debug.exe is located in the Arduino installation folder, which is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\ by default.

  1. Press Win+R.

  2. Type in 'cmd' and press enter.

  3. Navigate to the installation folder with the cd command.

    cd <path>

    You may be able to copy the path into CMD by dragging the folder onto the CMD window.

  4. Run the executable.

    arduino_debug.exe

  5. Observe the output. If you happen to get the following message

    java.io.IOException: The cloud file provider is not running

    there is most likely a problem with the OneDrive On-Demand synchronization. Proceed with the steps below.

Arduino IDE and Microsoft OneDrive On-Demand

The OneDrive On-Demand feature can result in essential files not being available or synchronized, which can stop the IDE from working.

There are numerous ways to fix this issue.

  • Disable On-Demand for the IDE location.
  • Install the IDE somewhere else (that does not have On-Demand enabled).
  • Using the portable version will make the above easier, as it's all contained in one folder. But if that folder has On-Demand enabled, there could still be issues.
